Hi guys,
My brother will sell his blade (bought from here in Greece with 2.1 onboard) soon so I have to revert it to full stock state, so the next owner has full warranty.
Is there any guide and files around to do this?
Now it's running the latest gsf, modded to be gen2.
Thanks.

You can't get fully back to stock because Greek blades sold with 2.1 are limited to 256mb ram & we don't have a copy of the appsboot.mbn which does that.
A custom rom shouldn't affect the warranty & you should get a better price for a 512mb ram blade with Gingerbread.
Reselling the phone will probably invalidate the warranty, as warranty claims should be handled by the retailer that sold the phone (which would be your brother - but he'll be exempt as a private seller).

Hi peeps.. I have a UK 3G xoom but I purchased it secondhand and it's been rooted / and had the 1.5 kernel installed from what I can tell. I am however suffering from lockup's so I'm after returning it to stock.
Can this be done do you know ? (It's a UK 3G version)
Thanks,
I don't think the stock images for euro are out yet. you will need those to return to stock. look HERE, you may want to reroot and start from scratch to help with the lockups youre getting.
I've just bought an Australia, Telstra 3G + Wifi XOOM on release day on Tuesday, and was looking to get the Micro SD slot working.
I realise to do this I need to root it, which I'm happy and confident in doing, except that I'm not sure what version of Xoom I have. Loads of the kernels etc available for download say they're only for the US or EU version etc, and I'm not sure which the Australian falls into.
If it's any help at all, in settings:
the model number is: MZ601
Firmware Configuration Version GAS_ASIA_USAEVRSTUTELSAU_P021
and kernel version: 2.6.36.3 [email protected] #1
Any help would be great. I'm keen to get some custom OCed kernels and the microsd slot going.
I've got a Galaxy S and have done loads of flashing with it, but with all these different versions I'm still familiarising myself in the world of Motorola Tablets!
I don't think that it's a good idea to get root because of new updates
My device is rooted and now I can't automaticly update it..
So I think it would be better to wait official update with microSD working If you just want your micro SD working

The official update (to 3.1) by itself doesn't give MicroSD access anyway from what I've read, and I also want to OC, and a few other little pieces that comes with rooting.
In Australia, we are usually well behind the curve when it comes to updates anyway, so I'm better off to root, and get them off here (and other sites), than wait for official releases (already 3.1 is available here for Euro and US models).
I'm assuming that my model is Euro because of the model number MZ601. Is this correct?
If so, I'll go ahead and root, and update to 3.1 that model

u can use z4root modified to root and unroot your phone.this can be found at modaco.
It's just an urban legend that rooting voids your warranty. You live in EU, so if the dealer tells you that rooting "removed" phone warranty, it means he's wrong. I also live in EU and we have some nice laws here. Just bricked one of my phones after rooting + downgrading Android. It was replaced under warranty (the dealer didn't want to do it first, but still replaced the phone when I told him that I know consumer rights).
the way i did when my vodafone smart 858 died on me (not due to bricking just a faulty device) installed a stock rom and the recovery and phone were back to stock no more root on the phone and no clockwork recovery were left hope that helps
N.B: im not sure if this method still leaves traces of rooting on the phone
Guys, rooting does NOT void your warranty (even if sellers would love it to happen).
The above poster is correct even if the shop states it voids warranty in my country there is a law that states a 2 year warranty on all products if you have consumer rights in your country dont be afraid to use them

Trading my phone in on att next program, should I take my phone in Stock? It's not for warranty purposes so I'm thinking it shouldn't matter.
I'm rooted, with custom Rom.
Probably you'll not need to flash in stock, because you're not giving your device for repair purpose..
..
They could class it as being damaged because I think in America they can refuse warranty claims of rooted phones, so either they could refuse to take at all or lower the trade value if they decide to be nasty.
So just be safe and flash back to stock.
Hi XDA!
I recently bought an S5 on ebay from a seller in china. In the settings, it shows SM-G900A in 'About phone', but when I tried to flash a custom ROM, I got a message that Software not authorized by VERIZON was detected on the phone and I should return it to a Verizon retailer.
Since I live in Sweden, this is not an option, and I flashed back to stock.
This breaks my heart, completely. I don't want to be stuck on TouchWiz 4.4 - I've been running custom roms since the dawn of custom roms!
Is there any known way to bypass this crap? I've already sent a message to the chinese guy, but my hopes are not to high.
At least it could be rooted with towelroot, so I'm not completely screwed.
Cheers
Joachim
If you google it seems the problem is widespread, due to a locked bootloader. There seems to be workarounds, as in this thread. The steps are for s4 but should be transposable.
